He's not perfect of course but we all have our favourites and scapegoats. :coffee:
If it wasn't for shoddy finishing they'd have been out of sight in the first half. The fact that they didn't score in the first half had nothing to do with good defending.Quote:

Pretty much.Quote:

I'd blame the disjointed display on the fact they were signed so late in the summer. Give them 3 or 4 more games and we'll see a composed team at play.
Chesney did well yet again, I thought Kossie was the better of the CBs considering PM has played Bundesliga all his life (would still have preferred Samba but that's for another discussion). Saying that PM played okay.
I thought Yossi was better once he was shoved out to the left. He was a nuisance... to us!!! in the centre.
Gervinho needs to look up once in a while. TW requires a left foot.
Arteta was tidy without being outstanding. Song played well in the 2nd half, someone must've reminded him he's supposed to be a DM; a shield for the defence, not a dribbler, at half time.
But all that being said it was a good result.
funny how most moan when arsenal do what dortmund did to us today, but because its dortmund its ok. they never really had any clear shots in that half hour imoQuote:

Pretty much, in the final third Dortmund were awful tonight, generally very poor finishing and shooting and at times overplaying.Quote:
